it's nothing, it's  so normal
  (Riff 2)
you  just stand  there, i  could say  so much
  (Riff 2)
but  i don't go there cuz i  don't want to
i  was thinkin  if, you  were lonely
  (Riff 2)
maybe we  could leave  here and no  one would know
 (Riff 2)
at  least not to the point  that we would think  so
everyone here  knows everyone here is thinkin  bout somebody else
well  it's best if we all  keep this under our  heads
i  couldn't tell,  if anyone here was feeling  the way i do
  (Riff 4a)
but  i'm lonely now, and  i don't know how
  (Riff 1) (Riff 1)
 to get it back  to good
 (Riff 1)
this don't  mean that, you own  me well,
 (Riff 1) (Riff 2)
this ain't  no good, in fact  it's phony as hell
 (Riff 2) (Riff 1)
but  things worked out just  like you wanted to
 (Riff 1)
if  you see  me out you  don't know  me
 (Riff 1) (Riff 2)
try  to turn  your head, try  to give  me some room
 (Riff 2) (Riff 1)
to  figure out just  what i'm gonna do
cuz  everyone here  hates everyone here for doin  just like they do
and  it's best if all  keep this quiet instead
i  couldn't tell,  why everyone here was doin  me like they do
  (Riff 4a)
but  i'm sorry now, and  i don't know how
  (Riff 1) (Riff 1)
 to get it back  to good
everyone here  is wondering what it's like  to be with somebody  else
 and everyone here's to blame,  everyone here
 gets caught up in the pleasure  of the pain
 yea well everyone here hides  shades of shame
 yea but lookin  inside we're the same,  we're the same
and  we're all grown now, but  we don't know how
  (Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to  get it back  to good
everyone here  knows everyone here is thinkin  bout somebody else
well  it's best if we all  keep this under  our heads,  hell our heads yea
i  couldn't tell,  if anyone here was feeling  the way i do
  (Riff 4a) (Riff 4b)
but  it's over now, and  i don't know how
  (Riff 3)
yes  it's over now there's no getting back  to good
 (Riff 3) x3
 x6
 End on D
  That's it! it's pretty easy to play, so enjoy it!
